Empress Eugenie and the Edgars
Empress Eugenie of France was Napoleon III's wife, and she was the daughter of Manuela Kirkpatrick of Closeburn, Dumfries Scotland.
Manuela's father was Baron of Closeburn, and she is rumoured to have had a sister Jane who married an Edgar (William?) from the same area of Closeburn in the early 1800s. Has anyone heard of this link or could help with it?
